Commonly known as NITRILE or BUNA-N
Nitrile
rubber is the sealing material
most frequently used in Hydraulic &
Pneumatic systems because of its
excellent resistance to mineral oil
based fluids, greases,water,
hydrocarbon fules. It has good
physical characteristics such as
abrasion resistance and good
compression set.
NBR is not
suitable to Aromatic hydrocarbons,
chlorinated hydrocarbons,
automotivebrakes fluids, and some
fire resistant hydraulic fluids. |

resistance to number of aggressive
chemicals. The material
exhibits high mechanical strength
and improved abrasion resistance. It
also has superior resistance to
weathering, ozone and hot air and
very good resistance to technical
oils, even in the presence of
hydrogen sulphide and amines. |

FPM
Rubber is commonly known by DU PONT
trade name Viton®. The main
characteristics of FPM is they are
resistance to high temperatures &
their chemical stability. They also
display minimal weight loss in high
vaccum & also its permeability to
gases is low.
Viton®
is compatible to fire resistant
Hydraulic fluids, hot oils,
greases,hydrocarbon, chlorinated
hydrocarbons most organic acids,
even at high concentrations and a
number of organic compounds. It has
excellent resistance to hot water
and to steam.
FPM however
is not resistant to methanol,
keytones, esters and ethers. |

SILICON
Rubber is characterised by high
thermal resistance, good cold
flexibility, good dielectric
properties, very good resistance to
oxygen and ozone attack. The
main advantage is that it retains
flexibility at very low temperatures
and can withstand continues heating
without hardening, making it
suitable for low and high
temperature applications.
SILICON
compounds have poor strength and
tear resistance. Their resistance to
oils and fuels is poor and also
concentrated acids and alkalis,
water and steam at temperatures
over 100° C

CR based compounds are characterised by
excellent resistance to chemicals,
to ageing, to weathering effects, and to
ozone attack. Its resistance to
swelling in mineral oils, greases and
water is moderate.
CR compound are not resistant to aromatic
compounds such as benzene, toulene,
chlorinated hydrocarbons, esters, ethers
and ketons. |

EPDM
elastomer have very good resistance to
ozone, ageing and weathering. Hence
they are best suited for extruded
profile sections and sealing strips.
They have good resistance to swelling in
hot water, steam, washing liquids,
oxidising media, acids, bases, polar
organic media, ketones, fire retardant
hydraulic fluids& hydraulic brakes
fluids.
EPDM is
not suitable for use in mineral based
oils or hydrocarbons, but in non-mineral
automotive brake fluids and phosphate
esters the swelling is minimal. |

its high mechanical strength, NR is frequently combined with fabric
reinforcement for seals in applications
where water is the hydraulic fluid. It
has good resistance to acid and bases at
low concentrations as well as alcohols.

For seals
which are subjected to high pressure are
impregnated by cotton fabric
for improved extrusion resistance. The
fabric structure forms micro
lubricating pockets, resulting in lower
friction values; thus helping to reduce
wear. The fabric are coated with
unvulcanised rubber solutions of NBR &
FPM depending on the application of the
seal. |
